Submission + - Not Again... Windows 7 comes in multiple versions (tomshardware.com)
Crazy Taco writes: Tom's Hardware reports on newly discovered screenshots that reveal that Microsoft is planning to release their newest version of Windows in multiple confusing versions... again. The information comes from the latest version of the Windows 7 beta, build 7025 (the public beta is build 7000), and shows a screen during installation that asks the user which version of the OS he or she would like to install. Who's up for guessing what the difference is between Windows 7 "Starter" and Windows 7 "Home Basic"?

To be accepted as a standard, a proposal must pass two hurdles, and this one failed both of them. Now, Microsoft will have to respond to negative comments and hope it can get a positive vote in early 2008. In the meantime, MS may be losing revenue to open source competitors, according to Computerworld.

They are looking for ideas which they can implement which will make the troops lives easier, safer, or more efficient. The way it works is that someone submits an idea, Gestalt (I do not work for them) will whip up a proof of concept, then things are presented to the brass. Try to fit a thinking cap under your helmet!"
